what was the result of this statement on chinese trade during the ming dynasty?
options:

• zhang he was forced to retire and lived a life of poverty
• china invaded countries in east asia to expand the region
• china became isolationist and restricted trade with other countries
• zheng he was executed for wasting the emperor’s treasury

Explanation:

During the Ming Dynasty, after Zheng He's voyages, concerns about foreign influences and the cost of maritime expeditions led to isolationist policies. China restricted trade and contact with other countries, which matches the option about becoming isolationist and restricting trade. The other options are incorrect: Zheng He wasn't forced to retire into poverty in a way that relates to trade policy outcomes, China didn't invade East Asian countries for expansion in this context, and Zheng He wasn't executed for wasting money.

Answer:

C. China became isolationist and restricted trade with other countries
